On Feb. 9, President Obama ordered "an immediate review of the plan, programs and activities underway throughout the government dedicated to cyber security," according to a statement from the White House.
"This 60-day interagency review will develop a strategic framework to ensure that U.S. government cyber security initiatives are appropriately integrated, resourced and coordinated with Congress and the private sector," the statement said.
The president designated Melissa Hathaway to lead the review as acting senior director for cyberspace for the National Security and Homeland Security Councils. Hathaway previously served as cyber coordination executive to the Director of National Intelligence in the Bush administration.
